        Noobs has it's own list of supported OSes (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/noobs.md), I don't see RetroPie among the one supported.

        If you only intend to run RetroPie on your Pi system, then you can leave Noobs aside and flash the card with the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

          @mitu hello. I have tried running it on it's own and I cannot rotate the screen! So my thoughts were if I ran retropie 4.6 in the raspbian on noobs card it would sort this issue for me as screen rotate is simply on the menu.
          Unless you know how to rotate the screen without doing it in the config.txt as my screen goes black after boot on my pi 4 2gb.

            I highly doubt that would be possible, just because you start the OS from Noobs. The PI4 model doesn't support 90/270 screen rotation as previous models did, see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md.
